check the drive shaft size, some alternator/generator rigs had a long tapered shaft on engine-- and the old Kohler engined Troybuilt Horse used them. A diesel engine tiller for garden use would be nice, since you have the engine would save cost of buying a BCS. Old Cushman scooter had a 5 hp version- Maybe see if you can fit diesel into some thing similar? a Heald trike kit with a cargo box would be useful around farm. What brand diesel engine are these- Haatz or Hartz is around localy, used for various things. Go green and use the engine and generator if available to repower small car with some batteries and jet engine starter- Hibreds supposed to the car of immediate future. Garden tractor?- find a old Sears Suburban iron case transmission/rear end and make a mini puller that could also plow/disc/cultivate. Simplicity 700 indicated a 7hp engine- the AC B1 was a rebadged Simplicity- so maybe you could couple flywheel side of engine to drive shaft. I did something similar putting a 12hp Tecumseh from a Bolens into Simplicity 700 frame. Maybe check salvage yard for old motorcycle frame- do like the Indian made Enfields with the small diesel engine swaps into their old Bullets with 5 hp or larger engine- article noted use of Italian Landinis(?) of 300cc to 425cc used (18 to 26 cubic inchs). Welder, air tools, a slow winter when other shop work done has resulted in many different (sometimes wierd) things being made. RN
